Deep understandingreplaceFilter
replaceThe filter is a very practical string processing tool in the AnQiCMS template engine.Its main function is to find the specified old keyword in the string and replace it with the new keyword.
Its basic usage is very intuitive:
{{ obj | replace:"旧关键词,新关键词" }}
Here:
objThis is the original string variable that you will perform the replacement operation on, for examplearchive.Title.replaceThis is the name of the filter."旧关键词,新关键词"This is a string that contains two parts, separated by a comma,The English translation of 'auto' is 'English'. The left side is the text you want to replace, and the right side is the new text you want to replace it with.
It should be noted that,旧关键词Empty, the filter will match at the beginning of the original string and after each UTF-8 character sequence, which may result in unexpected outcomes. If新关键词it is empty, then旧关键词will be removed.

Dynamic modificationaltAttribute: Practical exercise
The article is about 'AnQiCMS Template Creation Tutorial', and its title is 'AnQiCMS Template Creation'. When we use this title directly for the imagealt属性时，可能是 English<img src="..." alt="安企CMS模板制作" />。现在，我们希望对其进行优化。

<img src="{{ archive.Thumb }}" alt="{{ archive.Title | replace:"安企CMS,AnQiCMS" }}" />
After such modifications, the image'salt属性将从“安企CMS模板制作”变为“AnQiCMS模板制作”。
2. Continuous replacement, processing multiple keywords
If you need to replace multiple keywords, we can use them in a rowreplaceFilter, forming a chained operation. For example, in addition to changing "AnQiCMS" to "AnQiCMS
<img src="{{ archive.Thumb }}" alt="{{ archive.Title | replace:"安企CMS,AnQiCMS" | replace:"制作,开发" }}" />
This is,alt属性将首先将“安企CMS”替换为“AnQiCMS”，然后在此基础上将“制作”替换为“开发”，最终可能呈现为“AnQiCMS模板开发”。Please note that the execution order of the filters is from left to right.
